Thetenth day of September, 1610, after dinner, our master called all the companie together, to heare and beare witnesse of the abuse of some of the companie (it having beene the request of Robert Juet) that the master should redresse some abuses and slanders, as hee called them, against this Juet: which thing after the master had examined and heard with equitie what hee could say for himselfe, there were prooved so many and great abuses, and mutinous matters against the master, and action by Juet, that there was danger to have suffered them longer: and it was fit time to punish and cut off farther occasions of the like mutinies.
It was prooved to his face, first with Bennet Mathew, our trumpet, upon our first sight of Island, and he confest, that hee supposed that in the action would bee manslaughter, and prove bloodie to some.
Secondly, at our comming from Island, in hearing of the companie, hee did threaten to turne the head of the ship home from the action, which at that time was by our master wisely pacified, hoping of amendment.
Thirdly, it was deposed by Philip Staffe, our carpenter, and Ladlie Arnold, to his face upon the holy bible, that hee perswaded them to keepe muskets charged, and swords readie in their cabbins, for they should be charged with shot ere the voyage were over.
